    The C503 mechanical shift gearbox (as in Alfa 164 and Delta 4WD/Integrale) was given a cable shift. (as in some Fiat Coupes and the Alfa 155 12v 2.5 V6)
    This was before the later cable shift boxes (C530 and C630, as used with later Bussos)

    So in theory, it could be possible to fit the C503 cable shift selector to a pre C503 mechanical shift gearbox.
    If that was possible, it would get you round the problem of the 164 mechanical selector shaft operating at the wrong angle for a mid engined car (but the right angle for a FWD car)

    Now that is useful information Chris!
